Sleep Trial and Warranty Information

Trial Period and Guarantee: Stearns & Foster mattresses are available through third-party retailers, and the company does not offer any sort of sleep trial. For this reason, customers should defer to the sleep trial and return policy of the brick-and-mortar or online retailer from which they purchase their mattress.

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. The warranty coverage will depend on the product label issued with the mattress.

Most mattresses come with the 10/10 label, and will receive nonprorated coverage for the entire duration of the warranty. This means owners will not have to pay additional charges for replacing a defective mattress. However, they will be responsible for transportation and inspection costs.

Stearns & Foster mattresses are designed for use with certain types of foundational support. A queen- or king-size mattress must be supported with a bed frame that has a ‘rigid bridge bar with a supporting leg’ and at least five legs or at least five ‘equally spaced hardwood slats’. The warranty will be voided if the mattress is used with an inadequate support system, or if the mattress is found to be in unsanitary condition.

Floor models are not eligible for warranty coverage.

The warranty will cover the following mattress defects:

Visible indentations or sagging in the mattress surface that measure one and a half inches (1 1/2″) or deeper.

The warranty will not cover the following:

Indentations or sagging that do not measure one and a half inches (1 1/2″) or deeper. This is considered standard wear and tear.

Repair or replacement requests that occur due to changes in the owner’s comfort preferences.

Warranty coverage is exclusively extended to original owners who buy their mattress directly from Tempur-Sealy or an authorized Stearns & Foster retailer. Those who buy or acquire their mattress from the original owner or an unauthorized Stearns & Foster retailer will do so ‘as is’, and will not qualify for warranty coverage.
